Thank you Shelby County Fire Department.
The Shelby County Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 1:30 a.m. Christmas morning in the 5200 block of Orphans Lane. Upon the arrival of the first firefighter who lives a few houses down, reported a working structure fire with heavy fire throughout. He was able to determine with the help of a neighbor that the owners were not at home at time of the fire. The firefighters not only had to battle the fire but also the frigid temperatures. Crews from Simpsonville FD, Ballardsville FD, Shelby County EMS, and Shelby County Sheriff departments assisted with the fire. There were no injuries reported and Shelby County Fire Dept fire marshal Major Andy White is investigating the fire to determine its cause. Right now the cause of the fire is undetermined. The house is a total loss.
Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.
Crews cleared the scene around 5:30am. After thawing out frozen hoses and equipment and cleaning up, the crews cleared the station around 7:00am. Some firefighters missed seeing what Santa brought their children and other just made it home.
There was another fire Christmas morning in the Eastern part of the county and numerous calls for the County EMS.
God Bless our dedicated and Brave 1st responders in this great County. Let's hope for a peaceful and quiet Christmas Day.
Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Shelbyville Fire and Rescue isn't just out there fighting fires, they're looking out for the community in a lot of different ways.
This right here…….sure puts things back in perspective. We get so wrapped up in our daily rush that we tend to lose sight of the important things. Being able to install some Christmas lights for DJ and his family was an honor and privilege for these guys. We hope it helps make their Christmas just a little brighter!
